What to Pack

Heavy woolens, thermal base layers, a fleece hoodie, waterproof winter jacket, comfortable walking boots, beanie, gloves, sunglasses, and a change of dry clothes for river rafting in Kullu.

Essential Himachal Travel Tips

1. Dress in warm layers: Mountain temperatures in Kasol, Manali, and Dharamshala drop rapidly after sunset. 2. Pro Tip for Kullu Rafting: Keep a small backpack with dry clothes handy in the bus, as your main luggage stays onboard until Manali check-in. 3. Carry valid Govt Photo ID: Required for hotel check-ins and Rohtang/Solang transit.
